[QUOTE="sand, post: 7775767, member: 118540"]Those are nice looking coins. It looks like your 40 nummus coin is Maurice Tiberius Sear 532. It looks like the 1st Labarum attribution (Tiberius II Sear 448) is incorrect. It looks like the 2nd Labarum attribution (Maurice Tiberius Sear 532) is correct. In the Sear book, for Sear 448, it says "N.B. - These can only be separated from the Antioch folles of the next emperor, Maurice Tiberius, by the cross ornament which surmounts the crown on the obverse: Maurice's crown is shown surmounted by a trefoil ornament." Also, in the Sear book, Sear 448 does not include a year III over V. On the other hand, in the Sear book, Sear 532 includes a year III over V. Sear 448 is equal to Dumbarton Oaks 40-42 and 44. Here are the Dumbarton Oaks pages, which describe 40-42 and 44 as "wearing crown with cross and pendilia" (pendilia are those things dangling from the sides of the crown)". Also, in the Dumbarton Oaks footnotes, it says "attribution to Tiberius of coins on which the crown bears a cross, to Maurice those on which it bears a trefoil ornament". Unfortunately, the Sear 448 photos and Dumbarton Oaks 40-42 and 44 photos don't show the cross clearly (only Sear 448 and Dumbarton Oaks 41 and 42.2 have photos).
